We study fundamental groups of non compact Riemannian manifolds. We find conditions which ensure that the fundamental group is trivial, finite or finitely generated.

Let $D$ be a division ring with the center $F$ and $D^*$ be the multiplicative group of $D$. In this paper we study locally nilpotent maximal subgroups of $D^*$. We give some conditions that influence the existence of locally nilpotent…

There is strong evidence for the belief that `almost all' finite semigroups, whether we consider multiplication operations on a fixed set or their isomorphism classes, are nilpotent of index 3 (3-nilpotent for short). The only known method…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ denote the class of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups. For a group $G$ let $F(G)$ be the set of isomorphism classes of finite quotients of $G$. Pickel proved that if $G \in \mathcal{T}$, then the set…

We describe the BNS invariant of Kaehler groups. As an application we prove that if the fundamental group of a Kaehler manifold is solvable, it is virtually nilpotent.

We study the following question: under what conditions extension of one residually nilpotent group by another residually nilpotent group is residually nilpotent? We prove some sufficient conditions under which this extension is residually…

The intersection cohomologies of closures of nilpotent orbits of linear (respectively, cyclic) quivers are known to be described by Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for the symmetric group (respectively, the affine symmetric group). We explain…

We show that a K-approximate subgroup A of a residually nilpotent group G is contained in boundedly many cosets of a finite-by-nilpotent subgroup, the nilpotent factor of which is of bounded step. Combined with an earlier result of the…

In this paper we find a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite nilpotent group to have an abelian central automorphism group.

The aim of this work is the study of magnetic trajectories on nilmanifolds. The magnetic equation is written and the corresponding solutions are found for a family of invariant Lorentz forces on a 2-step nilpotent Lie group equipped with a…

There has been a great importance in understanding the nilpotent multipliers of finite groups in recent past. Let a group $G$ be presented as the quotient of a free group $F$ by a normal subgroup $R$. Given a positive integer $c$, the…

Let (H_t) be the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on R^d with covariance matrix I and drift matrix \lambda(R-I), where \lambda>0 and R is a skew-adjoint matrix and denote by \gamma_\infty the invariant measure for (H_t). Semigroups of this form…

By developing a theory of deformations over nilpotent Lie algebras, based on Schlessinger's deformation theory over Artinian rings, this paper investigates the pro-l-unipotent fundamental group of a variety X. If X is smooth and proper,…

We realize 4 of the 6 closed orientable flat 3-manifolds as a cusp section of an orientable finite-volume hyperbolic 4-manifold whose symmetry group acts transitively on the set of cusps.

The higher divergence of a metric space describes its isoperimetric behaviour at infinity. It is closely related to the higher-dimensional Dehn functions, but has more requirements to the fillings. We prove that these additional…

A p-periodic 3-manifold is a 3-manifold that admits a Z_{p}-action whose fixed point set is a circle. We give a congruence relates the quantum invariant of a p-periodic 3-manifold associated to any modular category over an integrally closed…

We treat the topic of the closures of the nilpotent orbits of the Lie algebras of Exceptional groups through their descriptions as moduli spaces, in terms of Hilbert series and the highest weight generating functions for their…

Let $M$ be an open (complete and non-compact) manifold with $\mathrm{Ric}\ge 0$ and escape rate not $1/2$. It is known that under these conditions, the fundamental group $\pi_1(M)$ has a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent subgroup…

For a finite group $G$ and an element $x\in G$, the subset $$ nil_G(x)=\{y\in G \mid <x,y>~~ is ~~ nilpotent\}$$ is called nilpotentizer of $x$ in $G$. In this paper, we give two solvabilty criteria for a finite group by the structure and…

The results of Culler and Shalen for 2,3 or 4-free hyperbolic 3-manifolds are contingent on properties specific to and special about rank two subgroups of a free group. Here we determine what construction and algebraic information is…
